Like I said, I just wish I had more "girl" friends to hang out with or talk to! It's REALLY hard meeting people but the ones I do meet always say....that I'm nice to talk to & I listen well, GO FIGURE!!!!

Considering the fact that the majority of PT members are girls, you're in the perfect place to find "girl" friends. Talk to us! He he he!!!

Most of my friends are people I have met at school, and people I know from the mosque. The friends I've made at the mosque are people I've known since I was a small child, so those are friends I've practically grown up with. School friends come and go. I have some that I'm rather close to, and they've been my friends for YEARS, but most school friends are 'just' school friends. I'm shy and also have a hard time talking freely to new people, but once I get to know them well, I'm the biggest blabbermouth.

I think the best way to become close to someone is inviting them over for lunch or dinner after meeting them. My parents often invite new people over, and end up becoming close friends. I have learned that from my parents, and whenever I meet someone new and begin to 'talk' to them, I too, tell them to come over for lunch/dinner...or sometimes just for tea/coffee. We invite people to our house alllll the time. It becomes too much work sometimes, but I know I would feel lonely without my friends, so I'd rather have the dinner parties than not have them. We invite our neighbors over too, so we also have lots of friends in the neighborhood.
